Coleen’s Butterfly Wedding

When Coleen and Wayne marry on June 14 in Portofino, there will be some special guests in attendance – a cloud of colourful butterflies.

Attendees at the £3-million, cliff-top ceremony in a former Italian monastery will each receive a live butterfly to release after the ceremony.

The theme for the two days of celebrations at La Cervara was chosen by 22-year-old Coleen to represent the couple’s freedom to be their own people within marriage and was inspired by a rare butterfly species – the two-tailed pasha – native to the surrounding countryside.

“Coleen’s keen to still be seen as successful in her own right after the wedding,” a source told The Sun newspaper.

The pair will tie the knot in a civil service in Cheshire and then hold a blessing ceremony in the 12th-century La Cavara, presided over by the parish priest from Coleen’s mum’s church in Croxteth.

Afterwards guests are due to join the couple for dinner on an open-air terrace, with the party later continuing on a yacht.
